" On Sunday night&amp;#039;s episode of Nate Berkus&amp;#039;s new show, American Dream Builders, we were introduced to a pair of Mid-Century Modern homes in Palm Spring that got full overhauls thanks to the two competing teams. In a living room tackled by &amp;quot;Team Red,&amp;quot; the designers were asked to deal with a room that&amp;#039;s more boring than it is awful\u2014despite plenty of seating and ample storage, the room looks empty and impersonal.  And then the post-makeover look? Streamlined, cozy, and somehow edgy...even with a neutral color palette. So often people believe that it takes a rainbow of colors and patterns to get the edgy look but here it is beautifully rendered in whites, grays, and creams.  Also notable? The fact that the room looks filled up and full of life without a truckload of new furniture. As host Nate Berkus puts it &amp;quot;Six pieces of furniture and a rug and it looks spectacular.&amp;quot;  The secrets to this makeover&amp;#039;s success? Large-scale art on the wall, a right-sized rug, and a healthy range of textures, from the woven seats on the pair of chairs to the metallic pendant. Love this makeover? Tells us your favorite part of the transformation! Then check out Housebeautiful.com&amp;#039;s favorite BEFORE/AFTER from last week&amp;#039;s episode...and start preparing for next week&amp;#039;s show, this Sunday at 8/7 Central on NBC.
